Cabinet members have launched their budget proposals highlighting a continued growth in the city’s economy for protecting important council services.
This includes investing in supporting vulnerable people and limiting council tax increases for the coming year.
The authority launched a consultation on Monday on its budget for 2019/20 which shows that a continued increase in the number of businesses and homes within the city means it has been able to once again prioritise investment in adult’s and children’s social services.
The approach has been pinpointed as showing signs that the council’s growth strategy in transforming the city and raising aspirations is working.
A budget consultation event has been planned from Wednesday, November 28, 3pm to 6.30pm in the Jubilee Hall, Stoke Town Hall, and everyone is welcome.
There will be the chance to ask questions and give your feedback.
